[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I don't think anyone (except) one troll is suggesting teachers not be paid.

What people ARE suggesting is that they work, which would mean making an uncomfortable and possibly clumsy transition to online learning. That is still better than the alternative. [/quote]
The problem is MCPS; those of us teachers who WANT to put up lessons, continue teaching, doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING to help students continue to do so, are - at best - not being supported by MCPS. And at worst are being ACTIVELY BANNED from doing so. Basically if MCPS can't find a way to be "equitable" to 100% of the students, they won't allow ANY instruction.

Imagine if your child's school was on fire and the fire department's response was "we couldn't guarantee we could get ALL the children out, so to be equitable we let them ALL burn to death".  That is what the MCPS policy amounts to.

Having ALL students lose a quarter of a year of instruction (maybe longer) in the cause of "fairness" is insane. [/quote]
